Brie Glazed with Kiwi and Cranberry Marmalade

Preparation Time15 min

Cooking Time40 min

Ingredients

1/2 cup dried cranberries
2 tablespoons currants
3 tablespoons dark brown sugar
1/8 teaspoon cloves, ground
1/2 teaspoon minced fresh ginger root
1/4 teaspoon allspice, ground
1/4 teaspoon dry mustard
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons water
2 kiwifruit, peeled, sliced, and quartered
2 pecan pieces
1 wheel of brie cheese (approximately one pound)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 F. Combine the cranberries, currants, brown sugar, cloves, ginger root, allspice, mustard, and water in a medium saucepan. Cook gently over medium heat until mixture comes to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer until the cranberries swell and the liquid thickens into a jam-like consistency, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool completely. When cool, stir in the chopped pecan pieces. Place the brie wheel on a parchment-lined cookie sheet. Spread the cooled cranberry marmalade evenly over the top of the brie. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the brie round swells. Remove from the oven and gently slide the brie onto a cheese board or plate. Top the cranberry marmalade with chopped kiwifruit. Serve immediately with crisp crackers.
